WANTED - FEX-736-1.2
Good day, everyone! I'm wondering if anyone might have one of these modules that they want to part with, or know of someone who may consider selling it. Trying to put together a 1.2GHz (or Ghz OR ghz???:-) )station for contests and satellite work this year. Please reply direct to "mycall"@cox.net. Thanks!

Funny you should mention that (Ghz or ghz), Kent Britain brought this topic up today on the Micrwave mailing list:
From: Kent Britain [email protected] Subject: [Mw] mhz MHz MhZ mHz MHZ etc.
It's April 1st so a good time to throw this in even if it's not a joke.
A few years ago, to honor Dr. Hertz for his early work with electromagnetic waves, Cycles Per Second were Changed to Hertz. It is customary for Capalitize a family name. So it is Hz not hz.
Capital M is the designation for Mega or 1,000,000
Small m is the desigation for milli or 1/1000
Thus on 144 MHz a radio wave is just over 2 Meters long.
On 144 mHz a radio wave is 1.29 Million Miles long
Or on 144 mHz (There is no 144 mhz) a quarter wave whip would get clipped by the moon.
Think Hz MHz GHz
